Nitrous as the FIRST power adder to an engine, good idea?

[Y2A]

Hopefully ill have enough $$ to get a h22a for my accord after this summer. When I do get it tho, what should be the first engine mod I add? I was thinking of getting the usual i/h/e setup but since i wanna go turbo, i only need the exhaust. Since ill prolly blow all my summer earnings on the h22a itself with prolly $500-$600 left, I dunno if I should get a zex nitrous system or an exhaust system. Of course the nitrous setup will add more power but is it wise to use nitrous with a stock exhaust system?

So what do you guys think I should do?

I think you will be fine. i/h/e just helps the flow and gives a bit more power.

if ur going with a zex kit, you can easily spray 55 shot on a stock car. The only modification you'll need to do is just colder step plugs. Take a look at the nitrous sticky. It helped me alot when i was first going into nitrous.

so what 1/4 times should I be expecting with a '94 4door Accord LX with a stock h22a+60shot of zex on street radials?

wow, 13s, not bad

so whats the maximum shot I should use on a F22 with over 160k miles? Its also an auto tranny. Thats the engine I currently have.

55-65....as long as the tranny dont go out. but yea h22 with 55 would get you into the 14s easy with a h22. are you going to do a stick conversion? if the swap is into your auto accord

id say low 14's.

i ran a 13.99 in my prelude (same motor) with an intake, pulleys, and a 55 shot. this was after maybe 10 runs that were in the low 14's...

peace
